It was such a relief to reach Porto Santo, the visibility was quite bad and
we didn't see the island till we were right near, we had 27 knots of wind,
we had the engine on but could do no more than 2.5knots so we turned to
go to Porto Santo and suddenly we were doing 8 knots with out the engine,
its amazing how well you go when the wind is behind you and not infront!!
We were relieved to get there as the weather was closing in and very choppy
and a few of us had feed the fish.
So what a nice surprise when we went for stroll to find they where having a
fiesta to celebrate the wine growers. all the lady's and children where dressed
up and having a lovely time.
We will wait here till the weather improves to let us get on our way.
Bye for now, Love Margaret,Alan,Neil & Julia xxxxxxx
